Problem Type 1: MOI Calculation Strategy: Identify standard shape, use parallel/perpendicular axis theorems. For composite bodies, add/subtract MOI of components.
Problem Type 2: Rolling on Incline Strategy: Use energy conservation for speed. Use a = g*sin for acceleration. Compare bodies by / ratio.
Problem Type 3: Angular Momentum Conservation Strategy: Identify that external torque is zero. Set = . Calculate energy change separately.
Problem Type 4: Hinged Rod Released from Horizontal Strategy: Use energy conservation for omega. Apply centripetal + tangential force analysis at the desired position.
Problem Type 5: Sliding to Rolling Transition Strategy: Friction decelerates translation and accelerates rotation until v = R*omega. For a solid sphere: = 5/7.
